XPages Extension Library Calendar (iNotes Calendar) doesn't work with Internet Explorer

I am having problems with iNotes Calendar on my Intern Explorer (ver 11.0). I have tested it successfully on Firefox and Chrome. I guess it is a bug, but I just need to confirm this and is there any way around. Here is a small piece of code, just to describe the problem:

//tesCalendar.xsp    
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core"
        xmlns:xe="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/coreex">
        <xe:calendarView id="calendarView1">
            <xe:this.onNewEntry><![CDATA[
    var calDate = calendar.getDate();
    alert(calDate);]]></xe:this.onNewEntry>
        </xe:calendarView></xp:view>

The problem would be generated when you try to create a new entry (double click on any calendar date). It shows a wrong date, purely randomly. I am using an extension library dated 15-04-2013. Is it probably fixed in the later version?

Any help would really be appreciated.

Edit 1: I tried adding the compatibility mode as suggested by Paul in the comment. But with no luck :(. I followed this question on stack overflow for adding compatibility mode.Here is what I added to my above code.

<xp:this.beforeRenderResponse><![CDATA[#{javascript:  if (context.getUserAgent().isIE()) {
    var response = facesContext.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    response.setHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "IE=8");
  }}]]>
</xp:this.beforeRenderResponse>

Edit 2: I installed the latest version of Extension Library dated 19-06-2014. But still the same problem. When you create a new event it just displays date randomly. However, it works great with firefox and chrome.

Is this in compatibility mode or not? That may change the behaviour, though I'm not sure how feasible it is for your app to change the document mode. – Paul Stephen Withers
I have just updated the code with compatibility mode thing with no success. Also, I am not sure, what you mean by document mode in this context. Can you just describe it a bit more? – Chintan Parekh
You can change the document mode but can't really switch compatibility mode on or off. See intec.co.uk/…. It's basically what you've done. – Paul Stephen Withers
So, what is the solution here? Just accept the bug and ask customers to not use the application in IE? – Chintan Parekh

Is this a problem for just IE11 or all versions of IE. It sounds like it's a bug, possibly this one http://www.openntf.org/main.nsf/project.xsp?r=project/XPages%20Extension%20Library/discussions/55C1A4828FCB113986257B1D000DF980. You may need to check readme files for when that was fixed.
